Going through a phase with muffins at the moment - they are only recently becoming popular here in the UK, thank you Otis Spunkmeyer. I'm alternating between healthy and naughty recipes, like to take them to work to share round - better than taking in boxes of doughnuts from Mr Krispy K (which have only lately been sold over here).
